Dogs on Club trips Policy

Dogs on Club Trips – September 2012

Dogs on club trips: It has been brought to the
attention of the executive that the topic of pets on club trips needed to be
raised. We realize that pets are an important part of many people's lives and
can often be fun to travel with. To address every type of pet, trip, travel and
accommodation circumstance is not possible.

Two points club members should agree on are the
importance of the safety, and the enjoyment of all members on club trips.
Directly from the Parks Canada website: "When Hiking or Cycling ... Leave
your dog AT HOME. Dogs can antagonize bears."

Secondly, we aim to ensure all participants on club trips
have an enjoyable experience - for some people pets are part of this, for
others they are not. So as a club we feel it's best not to permit pets on club
trips to retain our commitment to environmental preservation and a positive
club trip experience for all members.
